규칙집이 아니라 참고할 기준
TimTim.Live 창작 헌장
이 프로젝트가 왜 있는지, 여기서 Konpa가 어떤 의미인지, 그리고 가족, 협력자, 미래의 팀 등 이 일을 이어가는 누구든 처음과 같은 마음으로 결정을 내리는 방법.
이것이 있는 이유
TimTim.Live exists to create joyful Konpa music that connects people, celebrates Haiti, and inspires curiosity about the world.
Through songs, stories, and cultural experiences, this is a living musical journey — not a finished catalog. It's meant to keep growing: new songs, new countries, new collaborators, for as long as anyone wants to carry it forward.
여기서 Konpa의 의미
Konpa was created in Haiti in 1955 by saxophonist Nemours Jean-Baptiste, built for one purpose: to get a room full of people dancing together, no matter what else is going on outside.
In this project, Konpa is never just a genre label. It's the Haitian half of a Haitian-American story — Caribbean roots, colored by African guitar and reggae, shaped by decades of American life. Every song should feel like that specific person telling that specific truth, not a generic "world music" pastiche.
새 작품을 이끄는 가치
지어낸 이야기가 아닌 진짜 이야기
모든 노래, 모든 나라 페이지, 모든 노트 기록은 실제로 있었던 일이나 정말 아직 진행 중인 일만 담아요. 나중에 꾸며 넣거나 부풀리지 않아요.
Konpa의 유산은 그냥 쓰지 않고 출처를 밝혀요
Nemours Jean-Baptiste와 Konpa가 시작된 전통은 언제나 이름을 밝혀요. 이 프로젝트는 그 소리를 빌려 왔고, 그 역사에 빚지고 있어요.
모든 노래는 선물이지, 판매 광고가 아니에요
언제나 "어떻게 팔까"보다 "이것이 누구에게 새로운 문화나 새 친구를 소개해 줄까"를 먼저 생각합니다.
양보다 깊이
진짜 이야기, 진짜 가사, 진짜 번역, 진짜 나라와의 연결이 담긴 노래 한 곡이 가벼운 곡 열 곡보다 나아요.
절대 변하면 안 되는 것
- ●The Haitian-American identity at the center of it — this is not a generic "world music" brand and never should become one.
- ●Crediting Konpa's real origin (Nemours Jean-Baptiste, 1955 Haiti) whenever the genre is explained.
- ●Honesty in every number shown publicly — no inflated counts, no fabricated milestones, no backfilled history.
- ●Every song and country page staying free to experience — the music is a gift, not a paywall.
발전하도록 권장되는 것
- →New genres and collaborators, as long as the Haitian-American throughline stays legible.
- →New languages, translations, and countries — the catalog is built to grow this way from day one.
- →New formats: video, live performance, education, community covers — anything that makes a song a living experience rather than a static track.
- →The tools and platforms this runs on. The values above matter far more than any particular tech stack.
미래의 관리자를 위해
If you're reading this because you've inherited this project, or you're helping carry it forward: you don't need to guess what would have been wanted. Use this page.
When a decision doesn't have an obvious answer, ask which choice serves the person listening to a song for the first time — not which choice is easiest to build or most impressive to announce.
When in doubt about whether something belongs, the test is simple: does it help someone discover, perform, or share the Konpa story — or does it just add noise around it?
